Why choose this Playa del Carmen tour ?
Come explore the incredible world of the whale shark and enjoy the experience of a lifetime with the Whale Shark Discovery. The Whale Shark conveys peace and tranquillity; swimming alongside this gentle giant of the sea in Mexico is an experience to remember and share again and again. The whale shark is completely harmless to humans, it is actually a very docile and curious creature.
In summertime hundreds of whale sharks swim to the waters surrounding Isla Mujeres, Isla Contoy and Isla Holbox, to feed on plankton where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico. From end of May to middle of September, you will have the remarkable opportunity to swim and snorkel with these amazing animals, in an area teaming with sea life.
